North Korea this week fired a projectile which flew about 60 kilometers (37 miles) into the East Sea, South Korea's military leadership said.

It comes a day before the start of a meeting between the US President and China's President Xi Jinping in Mar-a-Lago.

North Korea has been accused of violating the UN Security Council resolutions and of creating a "grave threat to worldwide peace and security in the region and beyond". Instead of the usual condemnation of calling it a provocative act in violation of U.N. resolutions, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said simply, "the United States has spoken enough about North Korea".

It is the latest in a series of tests which the North has been conducting in pursuit of its goal of developing a nuclear missile.

The US military's Pacific Command said the launch was likely to be of a KN-15 medium-range ballistic missile.

North Korea is ready to deliver the "most ruthless blow" if provoked by the United States, its ambassador to Moscow said on Thursday, after President Donald Trump pledged to keep building up defences against Pyongyang. "Both agreed to push forward the deployment of THAAD by USA forces in Korea".

Abe and Trump also confirmed that North Korea's firing of a ballistic missile is "a unsafe provocative act and a grave threat to the security of Japan". Senator Deb Fischer is on the Senate Armed Services Committee and says even though they are called test fires there is a big cause of concern.
